Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham was issued a fine for calling out the WNBA referees in a viral TikTok video.
Sophie Cunningham has emerged as a fan favorite in her first season with Indiana, thanks to her new role as Caitlin Clark’s enforcer. Cunningham left her mark in the June 17 game against the Connecticut Sun, where she went after Jacy Sheldon minutes after the latter poked Clark in the eye.
The scuffle led to ejections for Cunningham, Sheldon and Lindsay Allen, though none of the players were suspended. Cunningham was fined $400 for her actions.
